Chapter 885 Taking Candy From A Baby

"Is this how you treat the customers of your shop?" Liam's cold gaze swept across the fairies standing behind their counters before landing on the man in charge of the store.

Aron, the fairy, had an unsightly look on his face as he glared back at the human being who was responsible for everything.

This damned creature had shut down his income completely. While the blood he was collecting from the foolish humans wasn't anything much in this world, it was a sought-after delicacy in several other worlds.

He was making a pretty penny by trading these pints of blood in the other channels he had access to, but now his supply chain was completely shot.

It was all because of this damned human!

Aron's face contorted as he thought about impaling and torturing the damned human being in a million different ways. If there were a chance, he would cripple the damned insect and sell him to the ogre brothel.

A mere level 80 had dared to make such a big loss to him! He needed to pay for this!

The fairy gritted his teeth as he eyed Liam viciously, not even bothering to hide the animosity he harbored in his heart.

However, Liam simply revealed a small smile that did not travel to his eyes and took out an item from his pocket. "Well, I don't have all day to stare at your face or your nose. I am here to make a trade."

Aron's face twitched at the blatant insult to his shapely nose, and he scoffed in disdain. This irrelevant lower realm insect shut down his thriving business and now demands to make a trade? How laughable!

"What worthless thing do you have to trade?" He rudely remarked.

Liam ignored the remark and silently lifted up the item in his hand and showed it to the fairy. The fairy's beady little eyes disinterestedly gave a glance in his direction, but the next second, he immediately froze.

"Where! Where did you get this from?" Aron rushed to Liam and hurriedly grabbed the item from his hands. He gasped and analyzed the small thing from all angles very carefully, but his examination only confirmed what he already knew.

The item he was currently holding was a dungeon core! 

There was no doubt about it. The fairy looked up at Liam in shock, wondering how this ordinary human being came in possession of such a treasure. 

While a dungeon core crystal was not a combat-type treasure or enhancement-type treasure that was directly useful to the masses, it was, in a way, an even bigger precious item.

This was because, with a dungeon crystal core, one would be able to obtain all the other treasures!

To be more specific, a dungeon core crystal was a money-making machine! 

If one successfully activated a dungeon crystal core, then one could farm a lot of resources with the help of the resulting dungeon. It was essentially an endless supply of money and resources.

Aron's eyes shone with desire as he greedily stared at the crystal in his hand. Such items were never sold in normal trades. They were only auctioned at special events, and that too only big shots had the opportunity to buy these things.

Someone like him could never even dream of buying something like this. He was simply a middleman at best, forever cursed to remain a nobody and trade items to the end of his life.

But now! Even he had the opportunity to obtain a treasure like this?!

The fairy gulped as his gaze shifted from the crystal to the ignorant human being who had brought him such a priceless treasure. 

Ke Ke Ke! What an idiot! It was going to be child's play to take this treasure out of this insect's hand, like taking candy from a baby!

The fairy quickly recovered from his stupor and then cleared his throat. "Hmmm… so you obtained a dungeon crystal." 

"Okay. What do you want to do with this now? Trade here? Hmm… I can exchange this for 10000 mana cores. That should be more than generous." The fairy scoffed at Liam as he indifferently replied.

Inwardly, he was saying prayers to all of his clan deities, hoping that he would get all the good luck and the human would fall for his trap. 

Liam, on the other hand, once again smiled. "10000 mana cores? Sure."

Aron immediately became overjoyed. Bingo! An idiot was an idiot!

He hurriedly opened his system interface and tapped something when suddenly Liam once again opened his mouth. "Actually, I think I will change my mind. I don't want to sell it for such a low amount."

"WHAT!" The fairy instantly became flustered. "WHY would you do that? You can't do that! You already agreed! It's a binding contract!"

"Hmmm? I don't think so." Liam sneered. He had already played around with the magic shop system plenty to know these basics, so how could he fall for such blatant lies?

"I think I am free to back out of the trade until I leave the shop after the trade." Liam calmly replied.

Aron's face twitched. He was comfortable lying through his teeth earlier, but now that the human being firmly stated the rules, he could no longer lie in the same manner. 

Curses! Curses! A million curses! It had only been a few weeks since they arrived in this world, so which bitch gave away their rules so quickly!

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do now. He could only begrudgingly return the dungeon core crystal back to Liam with a constipated face.

Liam, on the other hand, calmly accepted the crystal and then gave another smile before starting to walk out of the shop.

Curses! Curses! Curses! No! This cannot be happening!

"Wait a minute!" The fairy snapped out of his hatred and chased after Liam. "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Let's talk about this first. Don't be hasty! If you think 10,000 mana cores is too low, then we can increase the amount."
